xxvi RESOLUTIONS 



Catholic Club of New York 



The Catholic Club of the City of New York at its 

 regular monthly meeting held at the club house on November 

 nth, 1915, unanimously adopted the following memorial of 

 MR. ANDREW J. SHIPMAN and directed its entry on the 

 minutes. 



Andrew J. Shipman died at his home in this City on 

 October 17th, 191 5. He had been a member of this Club 

 for more than sixteen years. He served as a member of the 

 Board of Managers in 1908-9. He was one of the Vice- 

 Presidents in 1909-10-11. 



His character was admirable. His intellect was of the 

 highest order. His personality was charming. He was a man 

 of great vigor of thought and of loyalty to principle. He 

 joined to these remarkable qualities an industry which was 

 probably his most extraordinary gift. 



In all his official duties while an officer and manager of this 

 club he illustrated this vigor, loyalty and industry so well 

 that when he retired in 191 1, he left behind him a reputa- 

 tion for efficiency which still continues. He was particularly 

 zealous in all matters relating to learning and philosophy and 

 the intellectual life. As chairman of the Library Committee 

 he served the Club with signal success. 



His work in other ways is known to every one. He shed 

 lustre on our membership by his achievements. Whether at 

 work in his profession of the law or in public affairs or in 

 the special field to which he devoted so much of both his 

 mind and his heart in his later years, the care and protection of 

 the Uniat Catholics of the Oriental rites ; the fame of his 

 deeds was received by his fellow members of the Catholic 

 Club with affectionate satisfaction. 



He did excellent work in the Constitutional Convention 

 of 1915. Indeed it was his zeal and untiring devotion to 

 his duties as a delegate which broke down his vigorous health 

 and brought about his untimely death. 



In the midst of these great labors he remained one of 

 the gentlest of men. He endeared himself to all by his genial 

 disposition and his unselfishness. He was one of our most 

 beloved members and his passing leaves a real gap among us. 



God in His Divine Providence has removed him in the 

 flower of his activity and success. We are sure that he has 

 passed to the great reward of His good and faithful servant.
